Nora Pennington owns the bookstore in Miracle Springs, North Carolina. Well known for her window displays, her latest brings out a family values group that has a thing against strong women (boy, do I know the type) -- a modern day witch hunt. A couple of deaths keeps Nora and her friends on their toes. Then there is the bookstore itself. The books mentIoned in Ink And Shadows kept me busy making lists and looking them up. I added to my never ending TBR list. And, they all were part of the Ink And Shadows story. There are books featuring strong women. Books to read to someone with a vision impairment. Books for young women trying to find their way. And, books for kids about bullying. Strong characters. A bit of magical realism that seems quite normal and real....more

I'm enjoying the Yarn Retreat series by Betty Hechtman. Some clever titles in the series. Casey has always had a hard time finding the perfect career I'm enjoying the Yarn Retreat series by Betty Hechtman. Some clever titles in the series. Casey has always had a hard time finding the perfect career for herself. She finishes what she starts (law school) and moves on to other things -- like substitute teaching. But she has always loved to bake. When her Aunt died and left Casey her home in Cadbury by the Sea, Casey started baking for different establishments.
